Looking for signs of spring Paul Egeland, Esther Gesick and I spent time along
the Minnesota River Valley in west-central MN today (March 6).
We found 20 species of waterfowl. Significant geese movement occurred with
thousands of Snow, White-fronted and Canada Geese flocks throughout the day.

There were many waterfowl, from buffleheads to swans, at the Carlos Avery South
Pool this morning. The pool is still mostly frozen, the birds are concentrated
in the open water above the dam.
Take Stacy Trail (Co Rd 19) east from Stacy about a mile and then take the
first sand road to the
